Chapter One: An Unexpected Landing.

Look up at the light of the stars in the night sky.
Look up at the light of the stars in the night sky.
Once twice the bell toll echoes deeply terribly in my heart.
As story tells, the rock will sink with the best of Rock ‘n’ Roll inside.
Eventually, time will begin it’s trek.
As the rock sinks silently lower.
Fine, get it over with for the world, the earth, and the people.
Goody, bring the flowers and the light into view.
Fire’em off until they reach someone.
The light of the sun is just on the other side.
Once you start messing with it, it will seem easy.
Look up at the light of the stars in the night sky.
The era when we sharpened feelings we’d never known.
Your voice is fading, don’t act a fool.
Our eyes sparkle as someone finally screams.
Thought in the wind, wishes to the moon.
I’ll live as strong as I can today again.
Look up at the light of the stars in the night sky.
The era when we sharpened feelings we’d never known.
Your voice is fading.
One day our feelings will reach someone’s heart.
Shine on like that star.


“430 meters to ground level.†the ships computer said.

"We’re losing altitude fast!†cried Sora. Grabbing the guiding handle he thrust it back with all his might yet do the speed of there decent there was a high resistance on the guiding handle.

“Ahhh! We’re gonna crash!†yelled Donald, Covering his eye’s.

“Not if I can help it, Goofy help me with the handle!!?†yelled Sora. As Goofy and Sora pulled back on the handle, the ship began to loose altitude slowly but unless one of them thought of perfect place to land they would crash in no time with explosive results.

We can’t just land anywhere we need run way, think think! Sora thought to himself. They had come this far, through so many hardships for it to end this way. With adrenalin kicking in Sora scanned for place to land.

“280 meters till ground level.â€computer said.
“Sora! how about that there bridge!†said goofy pointing to the visual screen. From a distance there was a run way of land separating both left and right traffic, it was long enough but the question in Sora’s mind was if the bridge could take the impact of the ship without breaking .

“156 meters to ground point.†said the computer.

“Got no choice. Let’s go for it.†said Sora.

“101 meters to ground point.†said the computer. Sora grinded his teeth as a trickle of sweat ran down the side of his face, he breathed in slowly. This was a crucial point, it was either ship would hold on impact or become a ball of fire, devouring all of them in an explosion.

Easy... easy does it now, come on COME ON!!! Sora thought to himself in the hopes that the ship wouldn't give out on them.

“46 meters to ground point.†said the computer.


Kurosaki Ichigo lay back on his bed, bored while staring at the ceiling. Rukia Kuchiki was in the room with him but she sat on the carpet with her legs crossed and busied herself with another of episode Don Kanonji mysterious spiritualist on television.

“Spirits are always with you! Bwahahahaha!†chanted Rukia, reciting Don Kannji famous punch line.

“Why do you waste your time with that kiddy crap, the guys obviously a fake.†said Ichigo.

“Hay I like to live a little, its not that often you get to have this much fun in Soul Society, besides you need to lighten up Ichigo, have some fun for once in your life and stop being so serious all the time.†said Rukia.

“I don’t think chanting stupid punch lines made by lame fake actors is gonna put kick in my life.†said Ichigo

“No wonder nun of the girls at school are into you, your such an *** sometimes.†replied Rukia, rolling her eyes at Ichigo.

“Like I’m even into any of them.†glowered Ichigo.

“We interrupt your following program to bring you this urgent message. A large unknown object has just hit the Tokyo Rainbow Bridge. Authorities aren’t sure what the object is nor if there have been any deaths in the matter, at this point the bridge has been closed off until further notice. We advice all viewers to stay calm and stay tuned as this situation progresses.â€

Ichigo immediately sat up. As they watched there was footage shown of what tourist had caught on tape of the ship crashing into the bridge. Ichigo and Rukia looked at each other for a moment. Turning away from Ichigo, Rukia got up quickly and dashed to the closet, she rummaged through her bag to find her cell phone. She found it and quickly punched in the numbers.
Ichigo pondered for moment wondering what was happening “You think it might be a Hollow?†asked Ichigo.
“I don’t know I’m on it right now......come on......come on Urahara pick up†replied Rukia impatient as the line rang for while with no answer.

At the Urahara Shoten(Shop) a phone had rang continuously in shops break room. A young boy, Jinta Hanakari sat on the single sofa while flicking through channels and heard the phone ring, He had hated taking customer calls and always left it to Ururu. “Hay Ururu get that will you, I can’t stand that dame ringing uhhh!!! it’s driving my crazy!†scowled Jinta.Ururu was the closest to the phone but not even the ringing had woken her up she lay on couch fast asleep unaware that even Jinta was talking to her .

“Ururu? Hay Ururu wake up! Ururu!†yelled Jinta. As he threw the remote at her but before it could make a hit on Ururu, Urahara the owner of the shop grab it with lightening speed. Looking at Jinta Urahara moved his finger side to side at him implying what he did was not acceptable and tossed the remote back to him.
“Remote’s are for televisions, not causing bodily harm to others Jinta†said Urahara while answering the phone. “Hello Urahara Shoten how may I help you? “

“Hello.†answered Rukia

“Aaaahhh Rukia how are you?â€

“I’m good thank you... are you watching the news on television?â€

“Not at the moment.†Urahara snapped his fingers to Jinta to pass him the remote. “Is there something wrong Rukia?†asked Urahara.

“Tune in on channel 3 it will all be explained there" said Rukia. Flicking through a few channels Urahara finally arrived on channel 3. He watched as the reporter stood in front of the Rainbow Bridge which looked to have caught fire in the background.

“Reports released by the authorities so far have said that the objects is fly craft of some sort it is still unknown what is inside craft do to the tremendous fire around it, which is still being put out. Ambulance and police are helping to evacuate injured civilians. In any case S. W. A. T is on the scene and standing by if the situation does get any dangerous. This is Tetsi Shinta KBS News†Urahara passed the remote back to Jinta who continued flicking through channels for something to watch. Urahara was silent for a moment and trying to come up with n explanation when Rukia broke the silence.
.
“You think it might be someone from Soul Society? or maybe new type of Hollow.†said Rukia.

“Hmm never heard of a Hollow flying a craft of any sort before. Might be someone from Soul Society, might not be. Wouldn't know until I checked on it.†answered Urahara

“Should me and Ichigo go on ahead and meet you there?†asked Rukia.

“No no it’s quite fine, stay where you are for the time being. Me Tessai and Jinta can manage, but should anything happen I’ll contact you on the double†said Urahara.

“Ok...Urahara?â€

“Yes?â€

“Becareful.â€

“No need to worry, this is turning out to be quite the adventure. You take care now Rukia.â€

“Ok bye.†said Rukia hanging up.

“Bye bye†said Urahara. Hanging up the phone, Urahara turned around and clapped his hands twice. Upon hearing the claps Tessai came instantly.

“YES URAHARA SIR!†said Tessai. Standing straight with his hand to his forehead like a soldier to his drill Sargent.

“We’re doing a little exploring tonight at the Rainbow Bridge. I suggest packing the usual just incase and we might need these.†said Urahara,. Pulling a pen and paper out from the pocket of his haori (similar to a bath robe) and wrote down what extra material they needed. He passed the paper to Tessai. Taking it Tessai asked if Ururu would be accompanying them “No need she can watch the shop till we get back†replied Urahara.

“What about Jinta?†asked Tessai.

“He’ll be tagging along..Jinta lets go we have lots to do with so little time!â€yelled Urahara.

“Aw man just when I was gonna call it a night old man sheesh!†said Jinta switching off the Television.


Sora coughed while coming to. Ohhh.....uhhhh... mmy hhheaad he thought. Reality had slowly come to him. At first his vision was a blur but as he blinked things became more crystal clear. The smell of smoke filled air and stung his nasal congestions so much he got teary eyed . He could feel sweat tickling on the side of his face. After wiping it he looked at his hand to find it wasn’t sweat but blood. He had nasty bruise followed by throbbing headache. The pain had seemed to bounce back and forth from his bruise to the center of his head. In the distance he could hear sparks flaring. Looking around he saw Donald on his back with piece of ventilation shaft on him. While Goofy lay in a corner slouched. Both were unconscious “Uuuuhhhh.....Gu..guooffyy..Duh... Don...ald.†he agonized saying their names. He tried to move but he was weak, drained to core. The pain was to much to bare and the heat of ship and heavy smoke had made it even harder to bare Am I dying? He thought. Right now they were in state emergency in an unknown world; defenseless against the heartless and the nobody’s who could attack at any given moment.


Urahara, Tessai and Jinta stood in West Shinbashi Street, behind a crowd of what looked to them to be over thousand people, some where carrying cameras while others holding cam corders trying record the footage. From distance thick smoke could be seen coming from the bridge. The authorities had put up blocks aids to keep people out. The bridge incident had caught most the public’s eye.


“Well looks like we can call it night.†said Jinta stretching his hands and yawning.

“Not so fast I’m thinking.†said Urahara. He stood there thinking hard as to how they were going to get past all these people to reach the block aids. Then it hit him.

“I’ve got it!†Urahara leaned towards Jinta to whisper his plan into his ear.

“What! No way in hell am I doing that!†yelled Jinta outraged at Urahara’s plan.

“Jinta come on now?.†said Urahara.

“Nope, no way, you bringing me here was bad enough, but that’s cutting it to far old man.â€

“Well then I guess you won’t mind if Ichigo and everyone looks your baby photos. Now if I recall I think there was one with you going to the potty for the first time.†said Urahara.

“You wouldn’t!†said Jinta.

“Try me.†said Urahara smiling.

“Rrrrr! you better start sleeping with one eye open old man.†said Jinta grinding his teeth.

“Thank you Jinta I knew you would see things my way.†replied Urahara. At that moment Jinta let out a yell that could have resonated through the ground.

“I want my mommy!†yelled Jinta at the top of lungs. Soon came the water works and soon he was whimpering and crying like a baby. At that moment Urahara and Tessai took Jinta by both hands and escorted him through the crowed and made there way toward the front.

“You heard him folks he wants his mommy! pardon me, excuse me, coming through, sorry, excuse us.†said Urahara pushing his way through so many people.

The plan had worked like a charm. With Jinta continuing with the waters works and temper tantrum, Urahara, Tessai and Jinta had made it to front of the crowd.

“You did amazing! Nice water works effect, I must say I was touched.†said Urahara.

“When we get home, oh you just wait till we get home†said Jinta. Security was tight. As they stood behind the block aids several authorities stood every where keeping the crowed from getting any closer. Urahara reach into his pocket and took out what looked like a white glass ball.
“What’s that?†asked Jinta.

“I call it Mr. Sand Man.†replied Urahara.

“Ok what’s it do?†asked Jinta.

“It unleashes a white mist within about a 200 yard radius. The mist acts like tranquilizer dart, if you breath it in. or if it gets into your eyes you go quietly to sleep. Bad part is the effect only works for 20 minuets or so, after that you wake up out of a great slumber, forgetting how you even came to falling asleep.†said Urahara.

“Ahh man just when I was looking forward to hallin *** on these cops.†said Jinta.

“Jinta Jinta there more simpler ways to solving a problem then resorting to violence.†said Urahara.

“Your getting soft oldman.†said Jinta.

“Hhhmm indeed. Tessai! The masks please.†asked Urahara. Each of them had put on mask that covered there hole face. They had switched on the oxygen supply which was contain in two very small cylinder like tanks that were held at the mouth piece. Urahara raised his hand and held up Mr. Sand Man for a moment and then dropped it. As the ball shatter mist came out in seconds. Screams could be heard from people around them afraid of what the mist was while others thought it to be tear gas. Within minuets Urahara, Tessai and Jinta could hear the sound of bodies collapsing around them.“Like taking candy from a baby, Lets go.†said Urahara.

They had finally reached the Rainbow Bridge entrance. The smog from fire had become fog but it was no match for Mr. Sandman’s mist as it cut through the smog. Wow it’s a lot stronger then I expected it to be referring to Mr. Sandman’s mist. They could her loud creaking coming from the bridges cable beams. Lets hope this bridge doesn’t come down on us thought Urahara. Luckily for them the mist had spread further along the bridge but it was hard to see what was up ahead because of how think the mist had become. As they moved on cars lay every where, some intact others crashed, some pilled on top of each other. People were every where some in their cars others lying in pavement fast asleep while others lay dead Poor things didn’t even see it coming . Then Jinta was the first to discover it. He had almost fallen but Urahara grabbed him by his collar “Hay! You almost choked me†scowled Jinta.
“My apologize†replied Urahara. Looking down they saw a deep impact the ship had made, followed by pathway where it dragged. With still no site of the ship, the three followed the path way.

“How much time is left Urahara Sir?†asked Tessai

“14 minuets to wake up call, lets hurry!†replied Urahara.

It was hard running in a pathway a ship had left, do to the fact that the ground was completly uneven. As they made there way, the mist had begun to clear away. Things started to become more clear around them. All of sudden shots were heard followed by screams. Then the shots had stopped followed with something whipping in the air, as if it was cutting through the wind, then it was followed by gurgling and loud wheezing. Urahara could see the ship figure now, it was gigantic. The ship lay on it’s side, one wing broken off upon impact. Parts of the exterior had caught fire. All of sudden Urahara felt an aura, one very strong aura. He had the feeling it felt familiar but couldn’t explain why. As they moved closer to the ship something began to appear on the horizon.

“Wait! Some things here†said Urahara. As the mist cleared a black figure stood in front of them, it wore long sleek leather trench coat blowing in the gentle breeze, it had a hood over its head . The hands cufflinks were large, the hands themselfs were covered with leather gloves. Its pants silky black with a leather boots finish. It stood there engulf in black like a dark omen,. It held out black kitanna blades in its right hand. In its left was another black kitanna but this one was in torso of what looked to them like badly beaten officer. The officer stood suspended in the air only to be held by the blade in his torso. He was still alive, twitching from death spasm, gasping for air, while coughing blood. The dark omen brung its left leg forward fast and kicked the officer off its blade so hard the man went flying through the air into concrete dead. The dark omen stood there its back to them with its blades dripping of blood.

“Tessai take Jinta to safe distance.†said Urahara.

“Yes Urahara Sir.†said Tessai. Jinta had been struck between shock and disgust to even notice Tessai pick him up. Urahara stared at the figure. All that could be heard now was the howling wind rushing by the bridge. The silence was broken by the omen. “I’ve come to deal with him.†it said.
“Come to deal with who?†asked Urahara.

“Do not interfere.†warned the omen. The omen would scene something different about the man who stood in front of him by his aura.

Urahara twisted his cane and pulled to reveal blade kitanna. “Well then it looks like we’re getting started off on the wrong foot, My name is Urahara Kisuke, I welcome you to planet Earth, but I’m afraid this is as far as I may let you go.†said Urahara, knowing he was going to end this in two words.

“Awake, Benihime.†he whispered.

All across the city dark clouds began to form followed by lighting and thunder. Soon the first patter of rain had fallen on the window Rukia was looking out of. She stood there staring in the direction of the Rainbow Bridge. All she could see was smoke rising from the vicinity of bridge. She was worried, an hour had passed and yet no reply from Urahara. The rain had started to come down hard. Soon lightening was dancing across the sky while thunder joined in. Rukia dazed and worried, picked up her cell phone laying on the shelf beside the window. She punched in Urahara cell number. There was ringing but no answer, then the answering machine kicked in “Hello this is Urahara. I’m not here Jinta put that down! No no over there uhhh! just leave me a message Just leave it! I’ll get back to you as soon as possible *Beep*â€.

She smirked for moment, the message had helped to ease her worry abit.“Hay Urahara it’s me Rukia, I just thought I’d call to see if every things ok...It’s really coming down out there, so give me a call as soon as you get this message.†said Rukia hanging up.

“Uhhh god!, this so boring, didn’t he say he would call you?†said Ichigo.
“Yes but only if he needed me.†replied Rukia, looking out the window.

“What if hat n sandals got his hands full, maybe he needs us but can’t get to us.†said Ichigo.

“Urahara can handle himself Ichigo until†Rukia was interrupted by loud thunder followed by a brightest lighting strike she ever saw, it was ammoniating from the bridge.

Urahara sword was no longer the Kitanna he pulled from his cane. Now it transformed into a large, dark blade which was held by gold edge notch with U shape slit in the middle, it’s handle black with golden diamond shape patterns running from the notch to the end of the handle. At the end of handle hung a red ribbon Five minuets till the spell wears off on everyone. Urahara thought to himself. The white mist had now cleared completey. “I guess you don’t care if you get wet but I do†said Urahara. The omen didn’t answer. It stood there it’s back to Urahara.

“Don’t you think it’s rude just standing there with your back to me. The least you could do it introduce yourself and tell me what is it you want.†asked Urahara smiling.

“Now I know why your aura feels so familiar to me, you are Shinigami I didn’t think so at first but when you summoned your zenpacktu that was the answer I needed †said the Omen. Suddenly the omens blades began to speak.

"Ohhh I’m so excited it’s been while since I’ve felt the flesh of Shinigami" said the blade

“Quiet! You’ve revealed to much Kyuzo!†said the Omen. The blades spoke no more.
A talking sword could it be? no, it couldn't Urahara thought to himself. “Oh so your not from the ship ,I..†Urahara was interrupt.

“Enough talk prepare for your demise Shinigami.†said the omen. Urahara’s cell phone had gone off.

“Hay hay no need to make any threats, just let me answer the phone for sec.†said Urahara. As he was about the reach for his cell phone the omen turn around quickly and dashed forward with its blade. Bracing himself Urahara countered with his sword. Both sword came together so fiercely that the clash caused from both blades caused them to thunder loudly and imit a blast of lightening from the ground to the sky. Both opponents pushed fiercely at each other. Neither ready to give in to the other. With blade in hand pushing fiercely. Urahara pushed back and the omen slid back still keeping his balance. Soon both opponents swords clashed in mortal combat. “He’s good, really good†said the omens blades. He is thought the omen. With one feirce whoop there blades came together and at this moment Urahara took advantage of it by raised his other hand to his temple in a fist, then he stuck out his index and mid finger and yelled “Destructive art 33: Blue fire, down!â€. The omen went flying back and hit the ship, bounced off and landed in the pavement.. Nine minuets left Urahara thought to himself. The omen lay there not moving. “Tessai, Jinta! It’s safe you can come on now!†as Urahara yelled those words the omen moved and began to stand up.

“Wow I’ll have to admit your stronger then I thought, at the range I shot that destructive art you should have been dead†said Urahara. As the omen slowly got to its feetm, blood began to poor from its side.

The omen stood up with his hand to his side trying to stop the bleeding “Ju Just a scratch. I assure you I wouldn’t lose so easily to a Shinigami. The ship is yours, but know this the destruction of the Shinigami’s will soon come to pass and you will beg for death before the end†said the omen “We’re leaving already come aw I wanted to play some more†said the omens blades.
“Enough Kyuzo will have more play time soon enough†with that the omen disappeared into a ball of darkness.

“Urahara sir are you ok!?†asked Tessai.

“I’m good.†replied Urahara.

“Man you kicked *** back there, I saw everything, your not wet behind ears old man and you gotta teach me that move next time.†said Jinta.

“Later but right now the spells the about ware off and we have to see what that Darth Vader guy wanted in the ship.†said Urahara.

The ships was massive. The three of them had searched for an entrance but no luck. “Urahara sir I found a door!†yelled Tessai.Touhcing the doors handle Tessai got burned The door was still hot from entering the atmosphere.

“Stand back!†yelled Urahara. He took his sword and fiercely sliced the door open. As they entered smog was everywhere, which made it harder to see. Waving the smoke away with his hand Urahara made his way through smog and debree. At that momnet he found a young man facing down over the control panel. “Hay hay over here!â€. They all gathered. Urahara turned the young man over. The young man was caucasin with brown spiky brown hair. Black hoody sweat shirt, over sized black track shorts with red pocket sacks on each side. He wore fingerless mesh like black gloves. On his neck was chain neckless with silver crown pendent. Lastly the biggest show was his shoes. Dame! Those are big feet thought Urahara. Taking his hand Urahara checked his pulse. “It’s weak but we need treat his wounds or he might not make it. Tessai, Jinta check if there are any other survivors.†said Urahara while lifting the young man and putting him over his shoulder.

“Urahara sir I found out someone.†said Tessai carrying Goofy in his arms.

“Me to!†said Jinta piggy backing Donald.

“Any others?†asked Urahara. They both shook there heads left and right in disagreement “Ok lets go.†said Urahara.

“Warning, Warning engines have reached unstable temperatures, emergency cooling system not activating, engines will over load and combust in 3 minuets repeat engines will combust in 3 minuets, all passengers abandon ship and seek a safe distance. Commencing count down to safe distance T minus three minuetsâ€


Zexion leaned on the wall to relax himself from standing to much. He wasn’t alone in the room but was in middle of a very important meeting with someone.
“So what exactly is it that you want?†the man asked Zexion.

“Her heart of course, she posses one quit strong.†said Zexion.

“That’s a little gruesome don’t you think, I mean you don’t look like the type who would indulge himself by cutting someone heart outâ€. said the man.

“I assure you I don’t mean it in physical sense.†said Zexion

“Just what are you planning on doing?†asked the man.

“Curiosity killed the cat my friend, besides why kill plot so early when story just begun.†answer Zexion. smiling.

“Hmmm just remember if you cross me in anyway I will kill you.†said the man.

“Ha your words are but empty threats, besides if all else fails I have more to lose in this then you do, and with this on my side I can guarantee you will both get our side of the bargain.â€

Zexion snapped his fingers. A dark circle appeared from the ground. Slowly a shadow appeared forming into human figure with an instant the dark figure turned white. It wore a hamaka, it’s skin deathly pale. It’s nails cobalt black . By it’s waist was a Katana completely black with dark aura resonating from it. It’s face was half covered by a white mask with red line patterns on the edge of it, there was no hair on it’s head, it stood bald. It’s eyes were black with yellow pupils, it stair was morbid with a look of insanity. It had a smile of psycho path.

“A Hollow?†said the man.

“Please you insulting my work, don’t compare this to a measly Hollow. I assure you this surpasses Hollows by a long shot.†replied Zexion

“What is it?†asked the man.

“My white surprise, my ultimate weapon, let me introduce to you a Dowl Sloy, it’s part Hollow, Shinigami and Heartless.†replied Zexion

“Interesting.†said the man

“With a mere pierce to heart from the Dowl Sloy, you become one. As for heart of that person pierced it’s collected and stored with in the Dowl Sloy’s blade till it’s extracted. Unfortunately the Dowl Sloy, as powerful as it is it has the same weaknesses as Hollow. This I found very hard to remove. But luckily for its high Shinimagi skills it puts on one hell of a fight.†said Zexion.

“Perfect everything is set, I’ll be heading back to Soul Society, hopefully I’ll be seeing you there very soon?†asked the man.
“Yes soon enough.†replied Zexion.

“I see and has that Keyblade boy you were talking about been dealt with?†asked the man.

“Oh yes I sent someone to deal with him at the bridge, by now he’s catching his last few breaths†replied Zexion

“Good everything is going according to plan so.†the man was interrupted by Zexions cell phone going off.

“Excuse me a moment, Hello?â€

“Zexion excuse me for disturbing you, it’s Loz, my brothers has been seriously hurt†said Loz.

“Pull yourself together. What happened? What about the bridge? Did Kadaj finish off the boy?â€

“ no this Shinigami guy was there and he surprised Kadaj†said Loz.

“Uuhh! I’ll be there in a moment.†Zexion hung up his cell phone aggravated at the situation now.

“Is there a problem?†asked the man.

“Just minor set back. I’m going to deal with it right now†replied Zexion

“Alright then I’m off†said the man.

“Alight I’ll be keeping you updated†said Zexion before disappearing in ball of darkness. The man stood up and walked towards the exit door.


(Mean While in Soul Society)
The Conference hall in Shinigami Academy was the oldest section ever built. It was here that the four fathers founded and built Shinigami Academy. The floor were made of glossy limestone, the walls of ivory marble. Portraits of former men and woman recognized for there nobles deeds hung on the walls. In each corner of the room were four statues representing the four fathers, each holding a katana up right with a words engraved in each one. Discipline, Honor, Knowledge and Power. Those were the philosophies the four fathers believed and taught the Academy. On the ceiling in the middle of the room hung a grand crystal chandelier, each diamond cut perfectly and it glistened ever beautifully . Below the chandelier was an extending oak cherry dining table. At the end of the table sat Genryusai Yamamoto Shigekuni first Division Captain, head master of the Shinigami Academy and General all 13 division Captains. To his right sat Feng Soifon second Division Captain, Unohana Retsu fourth Division Captain, Kuchiki Byakuya sixth Division Captain, Kyoraku Shunsui eighth Division Captain, Hitsugaya Toshiro tenth Division Captain and Kurostuchi Mayuri twelfth Division Captain. To the generals left would have been Gin Ichimaru third Division Captain but he had not arrived yet, rather he was late.
“Hhmm†said the general in a disgraced tone.

“He will be here soon master Genryusai I’m sure of it.†said Tosen.

“I don’t know what I’m going to do with that boy.†said the General. Next to Gin sat Aizen Sosuke fifth Division Captain .Next came Komamura Sajin captain of seventh division, Tosen Kaname ninth Division Captain, Zaraki Kenpachi eleventh Division Captain and lastly Ukitake Jushiro thirteenth Division Captain . The Captain of Shinigami Academy were about to have there most important meeting yet.

“I can’ wait any longer I’m going to have to start this meeting with or without Gin. I’m sure all of you know of the decision made by Central 46s judiciary. Kuchiki Rukia has been found guilty of giving her Shinigami powers to mortal and remaining in a faux body, the punishment for these actions by order of Central 46s judiciary is execution, there for it is only right that Kuchiki Byakuya, being her brother bring her back to soul society to †the General was interrupted by Aizen.

“I’m sorry for interrupting master Genryusai but am I the only who sees this execution as immoral and far to harsh. She is young girl FOR GOD SAKES WHO ARE WE TO PLAY GOD WITH SOME ONES LIFE!!!†cried Aizen.

“AIZEN!! Might I remind you that you are a subordinate, watch the way you address master Genryusai.†said Tosen.

“I’m sorry I just don’t see how giving her Shinigami powers to mortal and using a faux body is punishable by death. Tosen you know this. Your on the Central 46s judiciary.†said Aizen.

“Aizen I suggest you don’t question politics that’s way outside your understanding, know your place and leave it as that†said Tosen. Aizen looked to Byakuya.

“Byakuya she is your sister dammit and yet here you sit listening to us take of her death and yet you remain so calmâ€. Byakuya was quite. He didn’t even make eye contact with Aizen.

“I have accepted Central 46 decision it is the rule of law and as Captain I must follow that rule of law without any insubordination†said Byakuya.

“How can you!†Aizen was interrupted by the General.

“Silence! this matter is not up for debate, the decision has been made. Any more further outburst Aizen and I will have you taken into custody. Let me make this clear to all of you anyone who tries to interfere in the execution will be found guilty of treason that goes highly for you Aizen. This†said the General interrupted by creaking door. At that moment the doors of conference hall creaked open.

“Oh sorry I’m late guys you wouldn’t believe the traffic of people I had to get through to get hereâ€. Everyone watched as captain Gins footsteps echoed through the room.

“This meeting is adjourned, I expect full report from each division on this matter.†said the General.

“Hay no fair I didn’t get heads up on what happened master.†said Gin. Aizen bumped into Gin.

“Here we all were in very important meeting about execution Kuchiki Rukia and you have the audacity come in here making comical statements. Oh Gin. You have fallen and really need to start taking your position as a Captain more seriously.†said Aizen. He despised Gin on all aspects. He thought of him as childish, irresponsible and cocky young man, not even fit to be captain at all.

“Hay Aizen A and B conversation, C you later.†replied Gin.

“Little punk.†said Aizen grabbing Gin by the collar. Gin slapped his hand away.

“Careful Aizen you might put in really bad mood and stuff could get really ugly.†said Gin smiling.

“Don’t underestimate me Gin you don’t know what I’m capable of.†replied Aizen walking away.

“Gin! I want to see you in my office†ordered the General.

The sirens blared reminding passengers the engines were going to combust . Adrenaline ran through Urahara, Jinta and Tessai so fast that the weight of who they were carrying had no effect on there speed.

This is not good, this is not good Urahara thought to himself while making his way to exit with Tessai and Jinta. The ship was vibrating more and more as the computers sirens echoed through out the ship. Each of them stumbling but trying hard to keep there balance. The count down was about to began.

They had reached outside the ship. The rain had stopped. All that could be heard now was drips of water droplets onto near by puddles. Each of them were out of breath.

“What are we gonna do Urahara sir!?†asked Tessai.

Urahara was thinking, the situation just got detrimental. The spell cast by Mr. Sand Man ball would be wearing off right now and now this ship was going to blow possibly taking them, innocent bystanders and half the bridge with it. They removed there masks and threw then in the bag Tessai had. Urahara thought hard to come up with plan. Come on COME ON old sport you’ve been in tougher situations then this. An option came to his mind it was the only option but this would mean suicide for him and Tessai. The sirens had stopped. The ships exterior speakers kicked in

“Commencing count down, T minus three minuetsâ€.

“Ahh! I don’t want to die, all I wanted was to stay home and sleep but no the old man had to checkout the bridge why did have to end like this!†yelled Jinta.

“Hay keep it together Jinta! anyways guys lets lay these three over here†said Urahara. They had laid each of the survivors good distance from the ship.
“Tessai I gotta plan. Hay Jinta†said Urahara.

“Yeah?†replied Jinta. Urahara leaned down to explain Jinta what his part in the plan was going to be. “Me and Tessai are gonna use a technic when we’ve lifted this ship a good distance into the air it is very vital you follow through when I give you the signal, because we can’t hold in the air for that long do to its size and weight so it is very crucial Jinta that you do the following. I want you to concentrate hard with every bit of strength your muscles have and use your calamity strike to the fullest and I mean with every ounce you can swing with that bat of yours. Timing and strength means everything, there’s no going back.†said Urahara

“But what if I†Jinta was interrupted by Urahara.

“No buts young man. This is your moment to shine and really show me if you can hall ***, ok?†said Urahara.

Jinta was worried he had never been put under this much pressure by Urahara which made him all more afraid to fail. I can do this, I can do this, I’ll show the old man what I’m made of he thought.

“Got it†said Jinta. So with bat in hand Jinta raised his bat with both hands to his temple and was in a trance powering up to make what could possibly be called the greatest strike in his life. Adeline and excitement ran through his body. He was gonna gift his all.

“Tessai you know the telepathy techniques.†said Urahara.

“Hoi!†replied Tessai.

“Good were going to use a levitation spell level 99." said Urahara.

“Oh god Urahara sir not meaning to question your plan of thinking but level 99 could kill us sir I don’t know if my mental strength can handle that much pressure†replied Tessai

“I know but time is against us old friend and I’m playing with the only cards given to me. If we don’t make it. It’s been great pleasure working with you and Jinta.†said Urahara. Bringing his hand out.

“It’s been great pleasure to sir.†said Tessai shaking Urahara’s hand.

“Lets do this!†yelled Urahara.

Each of them had taken there positions. Tessai and Urahara kneeled side by side on the pavement of bridge facing the ship. Both there hands at there forehead, palms together with there heads tilted forward in prayer position. Together they chanted “Telepathy art: level ninety-nine levitation!â€. Both there hands came down fast with only there index and mid finger sticking out. Both fingers penetrated the pavement like jackhammer on rock. This sent shock wave of cracks from there fingers to around the ship. This had now created a barrier under and around the ship . The barrier had now become a force field lifting the ship gently off the ground. The bridge began to softly shake. The stress of level ninety-nine levitation spell was coursing hard through Urahara and Tessai that every vein in there body was appearing and throbbing in excruciating pain but most of it came from there heads. Sweat had began to pour out like bullets from each of them. The ship was almost suspended in mind air.

“T minus ten seconds, nine, eight, seven†said the computer

“Ahhh Jinta now!†yelled Urahara agonizing in pain. Now glowing blue with aura of his full strength, Jinta leaped into the air. Time had slowed at this moment. It was do or die. He breathed in and out slowly.

“Calamity strike!†yelled Jinta. The blast had caused a light so bright it could be seen from any where int the city. Jinta could not even see if he made a directed hit. After the light had died Jinta could see the ship high in sky. It flew over the bridge and skid into the river. It sank in splash of water. At that moment a bubble blast exploded sending so much water into the air it rained down like a heavy monsoon. Jinta had a landed on his feet. He had felt light headed after using half his strength in that one hit. As the smoke cleared there was a huge crater where the ship once lay. Beside the edge of a crater lay Urahara and Tessai on there backs. They weren’t moving at all.

Ishida sat in the corner of the living room, home alone. It was completely dark except for the gentle light of table lamp that stood next to him. He had busied himself with filling out his daily agenda on preparation for tomorrow. 10:38pm hmm anther 30 minuets of study time wouldn’t hurt he thought while looking at his watch. Reaching into his knapsack he pulled out a binder a text book and placed them on the desk.
Ishida was completely unaware of the events that were still unfolding tonight. He never had an interest for watching television. In fact he rarely watched more then 10 minuets of tube time, unless it was under the situation of checking for the weather. Flipping through the pages of his text book he finally arrived on the chapter he was looking for. Linear transformation and Matrix alright let see what I know. Upon writing his first question Ishida was startled by loud knock at the door. He had been grateful his mother wasn’t asleep but pulling an all nighter at the hospital. If there was one thing he and his mom hated were solicitors but it was little late in the night for one to be visiting but if it was Ishida was going to give the solicitor a piece of his mind for knocking so fiercely. The loud knock came again, Alright Alright I’m coming gees. Ishida peered through the view hole in his door. To his surprise it wasn’t solicitor but his friend Sado Yasutore or Chad everyone called. Behind him stood Inoue Orihime. Ishida opened the door Chad leaned against the frame of the door. Exhausted and breathing heavily with sweat trickling down the side of his face. Inoue bent down to catch her breath. They’d booth looked like they just came from long marathon. “Ishida!†said Chad still trying to catch his breath “Ichigo...trouble...Urahara is at the bridge.†finished Chad.
“Ok breath Chad tell me what’s going on guys?†asked Ishida. Inoue answered
“we got phone call from Rukia...she said Urahara might be in trouble at the bridge...haven’t you been watching TV its like on every channel.†said Inoue breathing heavily.
“No time for explaining. Lets head for bridge Rukia and Ichigo are there waiting for us†said Chad. Ishida ran to the kitchen fetched the house keys. Putting on his shoes he headed out the door locking it behind him. Chad, Inoue and Ishida sprinted to catch up with there friends in race against time.

Jinta knelt beside Urahara, gently nudging him. He wouldn’t come to. Jinta started to blame himself, he felt deep agonizing guilt. Why didn’t I act sooner he thought as tears started to build in his eyes. Pull yourself together man what the old man think if he saw you like this he thought. Jinta got up and started dragging everyone unconscious closer together. He was completely exhausted after lining them all up horizontality. The spell had completely warn off now and he could hear people in the distance coming to. Few people had passed by him trying to escape the scene. No one had come to Jinta’s aid but he was determined to protect his friends to the very end, then Jinta heard the sound of Urahara cell phone ringing.

Rukia had been running desperately to the Tokyo bridge while holding her cell phone to her ear, Ichigo was beside her. She waited, hoping, praying that Urahara or someone would answer. Someone hid.“Hello? Urahara†said Rukia.

“No it’s Jinta†replied Jinta. Rukia felt distraught at this point. Urahara not answering his phone meant something had gone terribly wrong. There were thousand questions running through her head but one she wanted answered the most was if Urahara was alive.
“Is everything ok? where’s Urahara?†asked Rukia
“He’s unconscious, there all unconscious†said Jinta sounding mortified.
“Jinta we’re on our way until we get there I need you stay with me on the phone and tell me everything that’s happened, just stay with me ok?†asked Rukia
“Ok†replied Jinta
Jinta had explained how the events of tonight at the bridge unfolded. Rukia couldn’t believe what she was hearing, from the omens appearance to Urahara and Tessai levitating the ship. Rukia’s cell phone started to beep, reminding her that the battery was running low.
“Jinta my cells gonna die on me, where at the entrance of the bridge†said Rukia hanging up.

Rukia and Ichigo reached Shinbashi street. There was a surprised crowed of people in panic, some lay on the ground as if unconscious while others tried to bring them to. Rukia had asked a man what happened.
“I don’t know, I was standing a one point try to get my view at was going on at the bridge and the next minuet I’m waken up out of a sleep†replied the man.
“Hayo Kurisakikun!†yelled Inoue. Inoue, Chad and Ishida appeared from distance jogging towards Ichigo and Rukia.. Ishida face was drenching in sweet and he was breathing heavily.
“You guys made it†said Rukia..
“Hay Ishida what’s wrong you can’t handle a little jog†said Ichigo
“Be quiet I just ran for fifteen minuets no break. so cut be some slack†replied Ishida..
“Cut the chit chat guys this serious, so far this what I know from what Jinta told me. Urahara and Tessai are out cold do to the ninety-nine level spell they cast. The ship that crashed in the bridge had only three passengers there also unconscious as well. This what we’re gonna do. Chad you’re gonna carry tessai since he’s the biggest weight. Ichigo you’ll carry Uraharaâ€
“Me!†yelled Ichigo. Frustrated with Ichigo reaction Rukia grabbed him by collar of his shirt.
“Listen buddy our friends lives could be in danger not to mention three other survivors. So I don’t think this is up for negotiations got it?†said Rukia. Ichigo was silent do to the rage and flare in Rukia’s eyes and the tone of her voice. He just nodded to let her know he understood.
“Anyone else have problem?†asked Rukia fiercely. Everyone was silent.
“Alright lets go everyone keep up with each other†said Rukia. So with that they were off dashing between people to entrance of Tokyo Rainbow Bridge.
“Ji Ji Jinta†wailed Urahara. Jinta came by his side. Urahara lay there eyes open looking at the night sky. “Yes Urahara†said Jinta teary eyed at the sight to see his friend conscious.
“You did amazing!†yelled Urahara excitedly. Jinta was shocked and confused. Standing up Urahara brushed himself off and dusted his beach hat and placed back on his head.
“Wait you mean you weren’t unconscious the hole time?†asked Jinta.
“Well I was out of it, up until you were talking to Rukia on the phone. But since you had the situation under control I took a nap†said Urahara.
“You *******!!! you made me worry for nothing and all this time you were snoozing†said Jinta angry. He clenched fist ready to punch him for having played him for a fool when someone yelled Urahara name out aloud. It was Rukia and the gang.
“Ahh Rukia come to join the party?†asked Urahara
“Urahara your alright?†asked Rukia
“Yes but I can’t say much for our friends or this bridge†replied Urahara
“What do you mean bridge†asked Ishida
“Hear that loud creaking coming from those cable beams. Well that’s sound of to much tension and I bet my hat this bridge will collapse at any sec†said Urahara. Soon everyone was in state of fear from what Urahara said.

Sora had opened his eyes to the dark star filled sky. He could feel the rough hard surface of pavement underneath him. The first of many questions running through his mind were how he got outside. Rising himself halfway he sat up. Putting his hand to his forehead he still felt a light head ache.
“Hay hay one of them woke up!†pointed Jinta. Sora was startled by Jinta yelling he didn’t even realize were people around him. Looking around him he first saw magenta haired Caucasian kid point at him. Next to him was tall man, with short blond hair and green and white beach hat, he wore dark green haori which is similar to a kimono, and wooden sandals. To Sora’s right stood two girls one shorter then the other and in the middle stood three males one with orange hair the other wearing frame less glasses and lastly the other was large and muscular with darker skin tone.

“We come on peace†said Urahara rasing his hand to show Sora the peace symbol. Sora was silent are these the people that saved me?. “Excuse my rudeness but I’m afraid we’re in quite a predicament and we’re short on time. So it’s best we save the introduction for later time. Right now we need to get off this bridge immediately.â€
Sora slowly began to rise, his body still stiff and in pain he stumbled and as he was about to fall Urahara caught him. Suddenly a cable beam snapped.
“Quickly everyone lets go†yelled Urahara. Chad had picked up Tessai and Goofy and lifted them both over his shoulders. Ishida picked up Donald and carried him in his arms.
“Can you walk?†said Urahara asking Sora. Sora nodded.
Everyone began to sprint for the bridges exit. People were running all around them in panic, jump over debree. Cars were scattered everywhere, it was like maze trying to go around each one. Some people were still inside there cars refusing to leave out of fear.
Suddenly things had taken turn for the worst. The cables on one side of bridge gave way. This had caused the Bridge to twist side ways. People started sliding off the bridge other were push off by cars. Some had still held on to debree stuck in the pavement. As Urahara and gang held on to what ever they could. As cars slid toward them Urahara used what reitsu he had left to create a barrier above them.
“This will do for the time being but it wont hold forever†said Urahara
Rukia was in a state of shock. She knew she couldn’t swim witch added to the stress. Sora was meter above Rukia holding on to rusted steel cord. He could hear wincing from below him. Looking down he saw one of the girls from earlier. The short one with black hair.
“Hay every things gonna fine just hold on†said Sora. He hoped is words of encouragement would help to settle her state of panic.
“I can’t swim†said Rukia. The debree she held onto gave way. Falling back Rukia screamed. Sora let go, sliding fast toward Rukia, he grabbed her by the arm as she was falling off the edge. Now with one hand holding on to rukia and the other at the edge of the bridge Sora had an ultimatum. Taking the water with chance of having this girl drown, the clock was ticking.

“I’m going to need you to do some....†said Sora, Rukia interrupted in panic.
“Don’t let me go!†yelled Rukia fearfully
“I won’t I won’t. I’m going to pull you up just a little. As I do that, grab hold of my waist and hold on tight†said Sora. Hopefully upon impact of the water she would still hold on to him and then we would swim to land with her. Sora pulled Rukia up gently as he did so the edge shook hard which cause his grip to give out. Sora fell along with Rukia. She screamed in horror. Still holding onto Rukia’s hand they both hit the water. The impact was so strong at there altitude it caused Sora to let go of Rukia’s hand. He was underwater now and desperately trying to make to swim for the surface. As he came up he took breath of air. Looking around he didn’t find Rukia. Calling her name repeatedly proved useless. Sora dived below and caught a glimpse of Rukia’s pail skin, the moon light reflecting on her skin. He dived deeper and desperately trying to make to her before she sunk any further. Please be alive he hoped . Grabbing her by the waist he surfaced. Upon coming Sora paddled fast to make his way to river bank.
“They’ve Fallen over!†yelled Ichitnessing the edge give way to Sora from a distance.

“They should alright Ichigo I’m sure Rukia is in good hands.†said Urahara. The barrier was beginning to crack do to all the weight of the cars pilling up. “Oh dear!†said Urahara
“What..What is it?†ask Ichigo.
“Looks like will all have to take a swim, The barriers about to break any moment†said Urahara. He let go of the pavement, followed by Chad with Tessai and Goofy still over his shoulders, then Inoue, Jinta, Ichigo and Ishida still holding Donald.

Sora had arrived on land. The constant swimming had done a number on his arm. He cradled Rukia and placed her on the ground. Rukia wasn’t moving or still breathing. He knelt beside her, redding himself to give her CPR Pinching her nose together, he toke deep breath and placed his mouth over hers and exhaled. He then began pressing at her chest three times. She still didn’t breath. So Sora tried again and agin. Fear, guilt and sadness had pushed him to hope for the better but it was no use. Rukia lay there no life in her. He whimpered as tears started to stream down his face. All he thought about was what she said to him Don’t let me go, I can swim!. At that moment as if god himself had felt Sora’s agony a miracle happened. Rukia coughed, spitting up water she had inhaled. Sora lifted her head gently, a feel of relief had come over him. She opened her eyes and grabbed at Sora. All she remembered before blacking out was that she was sinking under water, he’d saved her and that moment she felt fear of the event but relieved to know she was alive and not alone. She cried in Sora chest as he held her, telling her that everything was going to be alright.
“Well well looks like we have ourselves a hero, but please don’t let me rouen this touching moment†said Urahara. He stood there drenched in water, squeezing his beach hat that was also soaked. Soon the others had coming running from behind Urahara. Ichigo, Ishida, Inoue and Chad arrived. They crowded around Sora holding Rukia.. “I don’t know about you but the breeze is starting to get chilly, lets warm up with some hot chocolate at the shop, it’s on me†said Urahara.

Chapter Two Many Explanations

I want to live in a world of peace
Without conflict, the one in my dreams
I just can’t keep it inside
I’ve gotta say what I wanna say
The bus stop at twilight, on the way home
saying bye bye bye to the sad backs of others
Your face doesn’t show your fighting pose
A world, the one I’ve seen in dreams
Without conflict, daily peace
But in reality, I sometimes worry about
Love and the day to day grind
Those rolling days
You would never hold a lie, no never
All my loving, without it I can’t go on
Sweet love like I’ve seen in my dreams
Lovers searching for hidden faces
But in reality, the days we can’t meet
Continue on, but I believe lonely days
Even if you stumble way to go, yeah yay
A muddled rolling star

“What is the meaning of this!†yelled the barren. He wasn’t pleased the out come of grains and vegetables the farmers provided. It’s had been shorter then what he had expected.
“I’m sorry my liege, but the weather hasn’t been to our liking and thus has taken it’s tole on the crops†said Kyoshiro Valentine. He kneeled on the ground with his head in the dirt, frightened,. Everyone of the village were on there knees with there heads in the dirty afraid of what the bandits were going to do. The bandits had come to collect there due from the villagers of Curaga. For years they lay powerless against the Bandits that took control of there home land and used them for there agriculture. Today for first time the village didn’t make due.
“This isn’t what I promised my buyers and now you’ve jeopardized my business deal†said the barren. Barren Krouzer was known leader of the nineth squad bandits. He was heartless, cruel and he only lived to see other below him suffer his malus. “It’s alrightâ€said the Barren. Kyoshiro was surprised by relieved that Barrens tone had comd. Lifting his head from the dirt he looked up at the barren.
“Really?†said Kyoshiro.
“Yes...Iâ€ll just have to make an example of you so this won’t happen again†said the Barren.
“Wh..What?†replied Kyoshiro. Two men grabbed him by the arms. “This is a lesson to all of you, failure is not an option in this establishment. Becuase of all of you, you have condemend this man to have arms broken!â€. The barren singled to one of his men to complete the task.
“NNOOOO PLEEEAASSE MY LEIGE I BEG OF YOU!!!!!†cried Kyshiro. Young Vincent Valentine heard his brother plea and rose wanting to help him, but his father stopped him. “What are you doing boy? Do you want to makes things worse then they already are?†said Iuchi Valentine. “But papa there going to break his arms†replied Vincent. “What could you possible do?, what? Even if you if you tried you would get yourself killed or all of us killed. Don’t be a hero. Just shut up and keep your head down boy†Vincents father knew how he felt but they could do nothing to save there own family member. He had already lost his wife and he made promise to her on her death bed that he would take care of both of them at any cost but now Kyoshiru was to live the rest of his life handicap and as much as it hurt knowing that was going to happen, Iuchi felt the pain was more worse knowing he broke his wife’s promise. Vincent was so enraged. Having to hear his brother plea and yet stay here and keep his head in the dirt degraded him. I’m sorry father but I’m going to end it here, forgive me for what I am about to do. Vincent closed his eyes, concentrating hard and quickly, diving deep into his subconscious. where are you? Show yourself! . He found it. The very cursed he was born with. The evil that lead to his mothers death, it was a part of him he wished he could rid himself of but it was the only part of him that could save his people right now. Save them from the fear and torment they endured for many years. I’m going to be a hero father you wait and see and hopefully you won’t hold a grudge against me for what happened to mother . It took many years but Vincent managed to control the demon to a curtain extent. It all involved timing. If it took control for to long he’s risk damage to his body and a chance of long term mental breakdown. It was the only way and he needed a hand now more then ever.

Kyoshiro was put in the ground face first. The heavy boot dug into his back. Grabbing his arms, the bandit pulled them up. “NO NO NO OH GOD PLEASE!!!!!†screamed Kyoshiro. The pain became excruciating as the bandit pulled his arms up and he could feel his tendons give and muscles pull. A shriek came at the sound of bones breaking. All the villagers shuttered as they heard his cry. “Remember this day as lesson to all, fail me again and I’ll take more then a mans arm next time.!†yelled the barren. At the moment Vincent rose. Teeth clenching his rage had gone to insanity. His eyes glowed red with fury. The demon had awoken and taken control. “No! You remember this day. The day when you crossed the terror of death†said the Demon. His voice dark and ominous. Iuchi looked up at his son and in his eyes. He could tell it wasn’t his son at all but something else, his eyes they were different, they were blood thirsty and mad for vengeance. The demon? It’s taken over, but how? . The Demon walked towards Vincents brother. Looking down at him he could see tears streaming down his face as he cried in pain. You are a pathetic sight Kyoshiru. I can not even comprehend how you are even blood to him. “And who is the begger who dares to speak against me†laughed the Barren
“Do you not know death when you see it. You’ll will walk the in valley of hell blind, mute and deaf. So all those in hell will say ‘there goes the fool who challenged death’ oh yes, oh yes indeed†said the Demon.
“Enough of the formalities, KILL HIM AND BRING ME HIS HEAD!!!â€yelled the barren. One of the bandits charged at Vincent with a sword. He dodged each swing so swiftly as if the demon wasn’t even putting any effort. Then grabbed the bandit by the throat by one hand. Breaking his arm, he grabbed the bandits sword and stuck it in his chest. People started rising and watched in amazement at what Vincent had done. Another two bandits attacked. One from the left the other form the right. As they attacked. Another bandit fired and arrow from behind at a distance. Time had slowed, Vincent flipped up high and grabbed the arrow as it came at where he would have been standing. Upon coming down he jammed the point in the throat of the bandit to the right of him. Before the bandit could fall he grabbed him and tossed him with full force toward the bandit archer. As the left bandit approached Vincent feel back on his right hand and kicked high with his left leg at the bandits chin which sent him flying into a stone wall.
The Barren watched in bewilderment at what a mere farmer had done to his men. As the rest of bandits tried to stop Vincent the Barren slipped away. Upon dealing with rest of bandits Vincent saw the Barren run. He ran so quicky his movement was undetected by the human eye.
“Leaving so soon? how rude†said Vincent. “This is impossible, how can mere farmer have this much power?†said the Barren. Vincent grabbed the Barren by the throat. “Stop Vincent!! Don’t let it control you, remember what it did to your mother!.†yelled Iuchi
“Ahh you must be his father. I’m terrible sorry but Vincent’s not in at the moment but I can take message if you like†said the Demon. The Barren gagged and chocked on the demons hard grip at his throat.
“Your not a killer Vincent he’s the killer don’t let him turn you into one†said Iuchi.
“Don’t bother old man he’s somewhere far where he can’t hear you†replied the Demon.
“PPPLEASE LET ME LIVE, I PROMISE Iâ€LL NEVER RETURN TO THESE LANDS AGAIN!!!â€cried the Barren with tears coming down his eyes.
“I told you, you’ll will walk the in valley of hell blind, mute and deaf. So all those in hell will say ‘there goes the fool who challenged death’ didn’t I?†said the Demon. At that moment Vincent reached into Barrens mouth and pulled his tongue out. Then gouged his eyes out with his fingers and lastly ripped his ear lobes off. He dropped the barren onto the ground. Wailing in pain the barren clawed the ground trying to escape Vincent. Then it hit him. A head like no other. Vincent Valentine was trying to take back control of his body but the Demon wasn’t about to forfeit so easily. It tried hard to block Vincent out.
I’m taking control!.
“No you fool this my moment of glory!â€
NO!! This is my body you stay the hell out
“Never this is body belongs to me I’m the ore superior one.â€
You killed my mother
“I wish I’d also killed you and taken this body! AHHHHH!†cried the Demon
. Vincent clutched at his head yelling in pain. What became a verbal argument now turned into a mind war for control. People watched as Vincent’s body shook and yelled at himself. Falling to his knee’s he let out a roar that echoed in the distance......
â€V?â€...â€V?â€. Vincent Valentine had flinched and come back to reality. He had lost himself in thought, reminiscing over the past. He sat at the edge of the Shinra manner balcony over looking the blue pale moon in the star filled night sky.
“Vincent? are you ok?†ask Rinoa Heartilly..
“Yeah I was just...†he paused. He didn’t like talking about the past to anyone but Rinoa was different, he felt he could confide in her.
“The past can be such burden†said Vincent.
“Not if you keep letting it drag you down all the time V.†said Rinoa. She put her hands around his waist to comfort him. He touched her hand. She was warm and soft. The feeling of her gave him a sense ofase.
“Rufus wants you come downstairs there’s going to be very important meeting†said Rinoa. “Will you stay with me a little longer?†asked Vincent. Without answering Rinoa sat over the edge of the balcony. She threw her arms around his neck and leaned her head on his shoulder. They were silent as they sat there enjoying the beautiful night sky and view of the stars on the horizon.
(to be continued)

 

Kadaj lay in the bed in one of the rooms of the Shinra manner. He lay there staring at the ceiling still copping with the defeat suffered at the hands of a Shinigami. The wound did not prove to be fatal but his brother Yazoo told him that it would leave long term scar. The worst scar Kadaj felt was not the fact of it being wounded but losing to a Shinigami, the very people he hated with passion. He kept thinking back to battle and contemplated in his head what he could have done to change the out come but no matter how many times he tried it did not matter for he was here with his ego shattered. The human world was different from Soul Society. Here his power was cut down by thirty percent due the lack of spirit energy in this world compared to Soul Society’s. Rufus Shinra warned him any everyone else about this but kadaj let his pride cloud his judgement. Sitting up he flinched at the pain at his hip. Clenching the bed sheets with his hands, he swore to himself that he would seek his revenge on the that Shinigami. Kyuzo his trusted blades lay on the mantel to the right, beside his bed. “Feel any better?†asked Kyuzo.
“No I’m yarning for vengeance Kyuzo†replied Kadaj.
“Thinking of revenge already? Your in no condition for that†said Yazoo who sat left, next to his bed watching over his brothers condition.
“Believe me when I’ve rejuvenated I’ll have my way, one-way or another†glowered Kadaj.
“Great then we can play again, hopefully will run into that Shinigami†said Kyuzo
“Be quite Kyuzo! I don’t want hear that word uttered by you again†said Kadaj enraged about the loss he tried desperately to get over.
“Ok sorry, sorry†with that Kyuzo was silent.
“You should have stuck to the mission like Zexion told you but you always have to go and prove your worth by engaging in senseless altercations.†said Yazoo. Kadaj hated his brother when ever he condescended on him and yet envied him for always being the better one.
“I just don’t understand what a Shinigami was doing there†said Kadaj.
“They come to slay hollows in this world. Once they’ve grown out of control and not to mention there are some Shinigami here that are banished from Soul Society.†said Yazoo
“You mean ones like Valentine?†said Kadaj.
“No Vincent left Seireitei after the war for personal reasons he is not banished from Soul Society†said Yazoo.
“I still don’t trust him†said Kadaj
“You still feel grudge towards Vincent?†replied Yazoo
“How can I not he was a shinigami the very clothes he wears I despise, when mother...†Kadaj paused, the thought of what happened that day fill him with deep sorrow he tried to block the images out , he tried to convince himself he had moved but the events of that day carried a burden on him. He felt the urge to cry little for her sake but with his brother here he held back.
“If your going to cry then let it†said Yazoo smiling. Noticing the whimpering look in his brothers face but Kadaj gave him a cold stair.
There was a knock at the door, “Come in!†said Yazoo. It was Zexion with Loz behind him.“I apologize for what happened to you tonight Kadaj I assure you retribution will be met.†said Zexion feeling guilty for have put one of his own comrades life in jeopardy.
“No need for apologizes, I was at fault, I should have stuck to the mission instead of engaging the enemy...†Kadaj was interrupted by Rufus Shinra’s voice over the P.A “Attention! my everyone please call to mind the favor I have asked of you and remember my disciples history will be in the making tonight†Everyone in Shinra manner made there way to the dining.

At the Urahara Shoten Inoue was healing Sora’s wounds using her Soten Kissun ability which reverses time. This allows her to bring anything back to its original state by taking out any negative effects. Rukia kneeled beside Sora watching Inoue heal him. Sora lay on the floor eyes closed with a blanket and pillow underneath him. His garments were removed except for the shorts he wore.
“I’m amazed Rukia he’s been so badly injured and yet he had the strength to save you. Like a prince saving his princess in the heat of battle, how romantic†said Inoue.
Rukia smiled at her rolled her eyes Inoue do you ever think before you speak
Sora’s eye brow twitched soon he started to open his eyes.
“Try not to move so much Sora I’m tending to your wounds. Just keep still little a while longer†said Inoue
Looking up Sora could see everything was orange. The orange was the aura emanating from Inoue Soten Kissun technique. Turning his head to right Sora saw Goofy unconscious a few feet away from him. The same was for Donald, who was to Sora’s left. “Hay come on now, your making it harder for me, don’t worry your friends are going to be alright. I’m going to tend to them next†said Inoue. Sora nodded as he looked up to his right he could see Rukia the girl he saved. He took his hand and put it over hers. Rukia blushed and looked right back at him and smiled. Sora smiled back at her and then closed his eyes and drifted back into a slumber.
In the dining room Urahara, Ichigo, Ishida and Chad sat with cups of hot chocolate in their hands and towels over their shoulders to dry themselfs. Urahara explained in more detail of his run in with the omen and how he knew he was a Shinigami.
“So how did he know you were a Shinigami is the question†said Ishida
“Maybe he’s mercenary or assassin of Soul Society†said Chad
“Could be but get this his blades were taking to him, what I’m trying to say is his swords had a voice†said Urahara
“A voice you, mean like a talking zenpaktu†said Ichigo
“No I’ve never heard of talking zenpaktu in my life. I mean Shinigami’s command there zenpaktu’s but his swords had voice of its own†said Urahara
“Do you have any assumptions Urahara?†asked Ishida
“One but until I find hard facts to prove my conclusion I won’t say anything just yet. Now please guys drink up quickly I’m dead tired and I want to rest†said Urahara. Tessai had shown up to inform Urahara that Jinta and Ururu were put to bed and his bed was ready. “Tessai what are you doing? you should be resting my friend, your in no condition to be running around do any errandsâ€
“My apologize Urahara sir but I’m back in shape, ow!†said Tessai putting his hand to his head. He still felt throbbing pain in his head from the spell.
“See, now go and rest or you’ll have another head ache to deal with from my cane†said Urahara

Soon everyone had left. Inoue had finished healing Sora, Goofy and Donald. Each of them had now rested for the time being. Rukia was the last one to leave. Urahara held the door open for her. “Take care Urahara†said Rukia
“I always do and I’m sorry for having worried you tonightâ€
“It’s ok I’m just glad everyone’s okâ€
“I’ll call you in morning and tell you about his condition†Urahara smiled as Rukia blushed.
“Did my look give that awayâ€said Rukia
“A little but don’t worry he’s in good hands take care and good night Rukia†said Urahara, and with that he closed the door behind him. Relived the night was over but he had one small chore to do before heading off to bed. Walking over to the library he searched the shelves for what he was looking for. Twelfth Division Research Department Experimental Data it was labeled confidential in red. He found what he was looking for. It was old and dusty, he blew on the cover of the book. The dust had caused him to sneeze. Flipping through the pages Urahara final arrived on section that caught his attention. Failed Experiment # thirty-four, Subject : The Bount Urahara began reading.

The Shinra manner, dining room was one of the most beautifully decorated rooms in all the mansion. Its floors were made with pine wood with glossy finish. The walls were solid white marble. With built in fire place that was burning brightly as the only source of light. Over the fire place lay a portrait thirteen individuals dressed in seventeenth century garments, they all stood in group in well mannered posture. Under the portrait was coat of arms which had an inscription of ancient tongue few could read. The ceiling was design in of ancient Sistene Chapel Fresco by Michelangelo; the detailing was so precise one could say it was the real thing. In the middle of the room was a dining table imported from Britain. Each corner of the table had an identical lions head which were hand carved in a oak finish. Five out of the eight seats were occupied by Loz, Yazoo, Kadaj, Zexion and Rinoa. Vincent preferred to lean back on the wall rather then sit. Rufus Shinra had yet to appear at the meeting but everyone waited patiently. Zexion sat stairing at what he held in the palm of his hand. It was Stirling silver locket; it lay open. The locket contained a picture of beautiful young Caucasian girl with blue eyes and long curly red hair that shimmered at how glossy it was.. On the inner left side of the locket there was an inscription. Je va etre toujours proche de ton coeur Ozine et Tu vas etre mon eternellement . It was in french which translated to I’ll always be close to your heart Ozine and you will always be in mine eternally. . It was a gift from her long ago. He could not remember when or what he felt because that part of him was still missing but he knew that soon he was going to get it that part of him back. Zexion closed the locket and placed it back under his coat pocket.
“What’s taken him so long, guy calls us down here but doesn’t even show up himself†said Loz. He was bored of waiting and anxious to go to bed because of to nights hunt he was dreadfully tired.
“Patience Loz Lord Shinra must have urgent news to deal with I’m sure he is trying hard ot make his way here†said Yazoo.
The room had absolute silence when suddenly the doors to dinning room opened with load creak it startled everyone.
“Sorry mates, did I miss anything?†said the man. It was Spike. He was young man with light blond sleeted back hair but it was hidden under his black kangol hat. He always dressed in black blazer with red dress shirt, matching dress pants and dress shoes. No one said a word to Spike everyone had enough on their minds to even care about Spike presents tough crowd, No hello, or how are you? such a rude bunch wanks he thought. Spike made his way to table and pulled up a seat beside Rinoa. He thought of Rinoa as what every man thought of young Ter Hatcher, sexy, stylish and perfume she wore that smelled so invigorating “Hello love, did you miss me?†said Spike. Rinoa laughed “Oh please Spike not when I have vibrator†said Rinoa looking over at Vincent and winking her eye at him. “Oh! she torched your *** Spike†said Loz laughing at what Rinoa had said. Embarrassed and ticked at the situation Spike turned away from Rinoa.
The doors to dining room opened once more. The sound of machine and foot steps could be heard entering. It was Rufus Shinra in automated wheel chair. His face, along with half of his upper body was hidden under cloak all that could be seen part of his chin and hands. Rufus did this to hide the many scars bruises and bandages on his face from great war long ago plus he hated the fact of people staring at his deformity. Beside him was Lulu a long white haired partly braided young woman with copper skin, she had silver like cat eyes. She wore a black tube top with white Hawaiian flower designs and matching skirt. The most interesting sight about Lulu was not hear physical appearance but the large bottle known as a gourde she carried on her back with straps. Inside the gourde was sand but not any sand this was black sand. At this point the black sand was holding two unconscious people. Both had their hands and legs bound by rope with duck tape to their mouths.
“I apologize for not being hasty my friends, I needed to give Lulu time to find a subject for night. I Thank everyone of you taking liberty for this humble cause but before I continue I would like to know that what we embark on will mean death for some and if any of you are having second thoughts speak now†Rufus waited for someone to throw in the towel but to his surprise no one did. Everyone had cause whether it was for loved one, honor or revenge no one felt compelled to give up now. “Good I’m glad to know all of you are one same page and fighting for just cause. As you may already know the first faze of Project Atonement has been carried out. Zexion our beloved companion has almost completed construction of the gateway command. In exchange he asks we do him the favor by collecting hearts for his research but before you go regurgitating all over my floor, at the thought of it, Zexion will go into more detail.†finished Rufus,.
Zexion pushed his seat back and stood up.
“Let me it clear that this operation will evolve no mess. All I require is the essence of the heart. Allow me to show you an example. Lulu if you would please.†said Zexion
Lulu placed one of the victims on the table. Zexion snapped his finger then a ball of darkness appeared above the body and from it a Dowl Sloy appeared. “Dowl Sloy bring me the heart of that human†asked Zexion. The Dowl Sloy stood over the body on the table. It took its long boney white fingers and plunged them into the victims chest.. When the Dowl Sloy’s hand came out there was white crystal ball with it red light emanating from its center. Everyone watched in amazement at how beautiful it was. Then the Dowl Sloy’s cloak opened and black tentacle peered out and removed the crystal ball from its hand and receded back into its cloak. “As you can see that the crystal is the essence and after taking it the Dowl Sloy keeps it in its cloak for safe keeping but if harm come to Dowl Sloy then the hearts will be lostâ€. Said Zexion
“What harm could come it if it’s under our protection†said Kadaj
“The boy is the only thing standing between you and the hearts†said Zexion
“You remember Kadaj, the one you failed to kill†said Yazoo
“Come now a child like him please, the shinigami protected him but next time it will be only me and him†said Kadaj
“Do not underestimate him he has already killed one of my comrades in the past, he carries a weapon called the keyblade be aware of it†said Zexion
“What of this keyblade?†asked Yazoo
“It has the power to kill heartless and many other powers still unknown about it, don’t do anything rash and lastly be careful with Dowl Sloy, do not take them for granted, they are a powerful weapons but if used rashly and carelessly they will consume youâ€

Zexion pulled a pouch from under his cloak. Opening the pouch their was six black crystal. He tossed one to each person except for Rufus. “These should allow each of you summon a Dowl Sloy†said Zexion, Vincent surprisingly tossed his crystal back to Zexion.
“Vincent I don’t understand?†said Zexion. Confused he felt offended by his actions.
“I’m not interested “ replied Vincent
“But why?†asked Zexion.
“It’s alright Zexion I have special mission just for Vincent, moving on I have one last thing to show you my friends. I can see some of you very tired and restless†Before Rufus could finish his attentions was caught by the body that lay on the table. It began turning completely black, as if a shadow of its self. It shrank to half its size. Though small it turned alittle muscular. The body rose up slowly. Its eyes completely yellow and beady, narrow head with two long antennas that bent back and zig zagged at the ends . It stood up with slouch. Staring at everyone with its antenna twitching. Everyone reached for there weapons preparing for the worst while Zexion remained calm. The dark minion disappeared into pool of darkness and slithered away.
“Prosue?†asked Lulu
“No need its harmless†said Zexion
“What was that†asked Rufus
“It was a heartless, those without heart become one when any being loses its heart. The Dowl Sloy are heartless themselfs so that would explain what just happened†said Zexion
“Alright with that said I would like to move on quickly to the final demonstration, Lulu if you would do the honors.†Lulu lay the last victim. Rufus pulled out what looked like a cubic box with holes around it. There was something moving inside because the box shook a little. He unlocked it the top. Reaching in with his hands he came out with winged insect in the palm of his hand.
Its wings white and separated four ways. Skin grey with black fur running down its back. Its head was narrow and pointy with needle like mouth. Lastly its abdomen was the largest part on its body with blue crystal attached to it. It made purring noise fallowed by clicking as it moved around Rufus’s hand.
Everyone stared in curiosity at the insect. Rufus lay the bug beside the body of the victim on the table. It crawled and made its was to the victims neck and poked its needle though. Soon the blue crystals on its abdomen turned a neon orange as the insect fed on the body. The body of the victim slowly turned to dust as the bug finished feasting. In the end all that was left were garments. The bug made its way back to Rufus’s hand. Lulu used her sand to reach for the wine glass on tray that lay on a mantel and gave to Rufus. He took the glass and lay it on the table. With the bug in his hand Rufus twisted its abdomen off. The bug twitched and screeched at what Rufus did. As the abdomen came off the bug regrew a another one. Taking abdomen Rufus pored the bright orange liquid that was inside into the wine glass. Taking the glass he drank down the substance, completely emptying the glass with one gulp. Placing the glass back on the table he sat back in his automated wheel chair.
“If he starts puking I ain’t bloody hell cleaning it up†said Spike.
Rufus then did something none had ever seen him do. He stood up and removed himself from his wheel chair. With one hand he pulled the vale over and let it drop to the ground. The cuts and scars on his neck hands and face were gone except for bandages. His skin, hair and eyes were fresh and rejuvenated as if he was completely reborn.
Expressions os of amazement filled the eyes of everyone in that room as to what they just witnessed.
“I have solved our problem with feeding on the souls of living, never again will we have to hunt my friends, these Sytherz will make great key to keeping our hunger to a minimum and as added bonus this adds a temporary thirty percent power again to you and your dolls. If each of you wish you can attain this new power by just heading to fridge in kitchen there’s bottle with each of your names on them. Now I hear by call this meeting adjourned all of you take your rest because tomorrow night the hunt for hearts begins†said Rufus. Everyone at the table made there way to kitchen. As Vincent was about to leave for his room Rufus stopped him. “Vincent can I have word with you?â€.
The dining room was quiet and empty except for Vincent and Rufus everyone else had gone to there quarters for the night. “I really wish you hadn’t made that scene tonight Vincent, because of that the others are probably beginning to question your loyalty†said Rufus
“You don’t know me Rufus and I don’t have time for this†said Vincent.
“I don’t know you? A boy who is plagued by the death of his mother who wants to atone for what happened at his village when he stood up for what was right. A father who couldn’t come to his scenes to kill this boy to save his own village. A boy who protected his brother even at the sight of death and by chance was saved by shinigami and from that moment took sword in hand made an oath that he to would cut the chains of oppression as a shinigami, believing that one day it would bring righteous and justice to humanity so that their seeds would never suffer from the same travesties he suffered all through solitude†Rufus words had awoken a feeling in Vincent he had not felt since the death of his mother. Remorse, he felt it deeply not only for his mother sake but for all the people he hurt in his life. He held back the tears but it was harder and harder every day because the guilt grew.
“Please I don’t want to hear anymore†said Vincent
â’m sorry Vincent but you think I just chose you as some rogue shinigami, your nothing like any them and your companions don’t know how much your worth is to this fight. When I read about you and how much your impact on Seireittei was. I knew you would be the key to bring justice to the bount possibly even the world.†said Rufus
“There is no justice in the world Rufus. Ones justice is always another’s injustice. Tosen knew it and so did Inochiâ€
“I hope one day you can find your justice Vincent†said Rufus. As he was about to leave he left a documents on table explaining Vincent’s mission. Vincent sat at the table alone with his thoughts.
